                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we will immediately resume consideration of 
H.R. 1591, the supplemental appropriations bill, and begin the process 
of voting on amendments which remain in order. There are only five 
amendments which remain in order to the bill. I encourage all Members 
to remain in the Chamber for these votes so committees and other 
meetings that are taking place throughout the Capitol can go forward on 
schedule.
  There is a lot of business to be conducted today. I extend my 
appreciation to all Senators, especially Senator McConnell, for helping 
us work through the morass we had yesterday. It was very difficult, but 
we worked through it, and I think it will allow us to get the bill to 
the President more quickly.
  We all acknowledge that the bill is imperfect. That is what 
conferences are all about. Let's see what we can do to improve it in 
conference.
